I Can't Believe You've Done This

Do you ever just have the immense desire to

You hardcore started cooking with oddy!Kai I just imagine how Nia and Lloyd would be freaking out/worrying about Kai especially by his appearance and entrance

(Tips hat) Oh, why thank you, Anon! My brain has also become fried by this au. I can hear it sizzling.

Context here ok go read it first!!

THEY WOULD PANIC. HEAVILY. Imagine seeing your supposedly dead brother walk in with a dragon and a sentient mech while just being oddly violent out of nowhere, looking completely different—scars, darker outfit, flinchy—and Nya’s first reaction is pure shock before she goes into full panic mode. Lloyd’s trying to stay calm but he’s internally freaking out because Kai was his first sensei and now he’s like this?? looking like a very dirty feral cat??? It feels like the start of a bad pun.

Thanks so much for the ask! The worms rejoice!!

POV:

Me after scripting the most try hard, mary sue, wattpad level shit drama into my dr’s

THE WAY THE ROPE TELEPORTED TO MY NECK 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 DATTEBAYO FELLAS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Do you think Kai took liberties when heading to the Monastery? Do you think he stood infront of a mirror making sure he looked and acted the same before the merge happened? Do you think he cracked more jokes and laughed too hard when he was with Lloyd? Do you think he quietly mumbles the names of the people who helped him leave the realm of monsters in fear of forgetting them? Do you think the reason he talks to himself more is because its become a habit for him? Do you think he was relieved when Nya broke them out of the fear vision, and that he really was back home? Do you think he got deja vu seeing rontu and egalt? Do you think he found the nether space comforting? Do you think the reason he was so calm during everything is because he was desensitized? Do you think he's okay?

Because I don't.

When you keep seeing amazing posts and art and analysis stuff and come to the realization that it's from one person. Like hello. I've had this experience more times than I'd like to admit.

Hey guys

Just

Try listening to 'One bullet in the chamber' by smash into pieces

Srsly

It's so good

Also

Very monstrosity coded

Trust

remember that scene where Benthomaar tells nya how nyad merged with the sea to stop wojira the first time? well, Kai overheard it. and he's not gonna let his baby sister sacrifice herself. so what does he do? he sacrifices himself instead. duh.

Finding the scroll used to depict nyad merging with the sea, he deduces that it must be possible for other elemental masters to merge with their element, too. When ninjago fully floods, and Jay is passed out from drowning, he merges with the sun to dry up the flooded city and defeat wojira. Cue angst, because he's one with the sun now. and where is the sun if not in the sky?

Monstrosity trailer analysis part 2! Part 1 <

The environment (+ a theory on what the monsters are)

This is the topic I've been wanting to discuss for the longest time. The environment and the ecosystem in general. To start, it just feels so alive. Everything from the flora to the terrain feels eerie in such a good way that I paused the trailer and clapped. It's gorgeous, and it feels like the place looks back at you when you look at it. The use of empty space and hidden context is also ingenious. You see bridges and landmarks and carvings, and you just know someone or some people were here before Kai. Maybe the human inhabitants of the realm? Or the ones living in the homelands the guardian dragon was talking about? What really happened to them then? The forests are so empty and filled with greenery that it makes it feel untouched. A place where no human should be let alone live in. Poor Kai, I hope he has fun.

Another thing I like is that there are different landforms. From plains to forests to hills to mountains, it's like we were put in Kai's shoes with the sheer scale of it all. Each area has their own specific monster/s to that region, and it makes the idea of the realm being unfamiliar really tangible. It makes you think and theorize what the food chain is or if there even is one. Are some of the inhabitants herbivores? Or are they all carnivores? Maybe omnivores? Are they all organic? Maybe some have different skin? Are there supernatural elements? What if some are capable of speech or sentience? There are just so many things to pick apart and analyze that you can't really help but rewatch the trailer every five minutes while it's on the lowest speed just so that you can catch every detail. Or is that just me. Please dont say it's just me.

One thing that i find kinda funny is that there are also bodies of water. Like, legit large spaces of sea and river. From oceans to lakes to just flooded plateaus (I don't know the term, sorry), there was even a shot where Kai was just in front of a sea full of broken shipwrecks. It makes you think if a water-based realm was merged inside of it or! This is a theory! If the realm of monsters is a parasite realm. A realm that infects others and therefore grows bigger with each new land consumed. A theory I saw on here was that each monster was an elemental master consumed, and that's what the centipede mural is for. What if the rom (realm of monsters) was just a regular realm before its elemental masters got hit with a curse of some sort? Maybe that's why the guardian dragon is pissed. What if the monsters need elemental energy to survive? That's why there are SO many of them that are huge? What if they fed on the guardian dragons? What if that's why they're extinct?

Maybe that's why they're so hostile. They can sense Kai is an elemental master and one of the elements of creation as well. It's why the mech and dragon want to help him. They won't let another master become that.

The merge also caused a giant surge in elemental energy, so another reason why they are so many of them. Maybe they procreated using that energy.

Ooooooo I can't wait for this. I'm definitely checking if I'm right when monstrosity comes out.

The ninja and the mech and the dragon having to hang out with each other without Kai is so funny in a tragic way.

Lloyd: What’s your name?

Mech and Dragon: …

Lloyd: How do you know Kai?

Mech and Dragon: ….

Lloyd: Great talk. Okay. Yeah. Nice to meet you, guys?

We also know very little about them other than the fact they are probably not the most upright moral people just because of their circumstances. But I feel like the only information they’d give out is that Kai did everything he could to get home to them. Everything.

Ominously said. But they mean it kindly.

(Context here)

YES YES YES YES YES this is exactly what happened. They would be quiet not out of disrespect but out of awkwardness. Maybe because they were the people Kai was blabbering about while on their journey to the city of temples, and his descriptions of them were a little... overdramatic. Then again, you can't really stop Kai "family man" Smith from bragging about his family (and trying hard not to forget them)

Kai: Oh and don't get me started on my sister, Nya. She's strong, confident, the second best looking in our team if I must say, and did I mention she was the original samurai x? She was able to build all those intricate and complex gadgets at such an early age, and managed to keep it a secret too! Her power over water is also great, and even though she could do better in terms of love interests, I guess Jay is good enough. Oh, and don't forget, she even beat the preeminent when she unlocked her full potential! She's amazing, isn't she?

Rusty and Daidan, not knowing half of what the fuck he's saying: Sure, that's great sweetie.

Kai: It is! Then Lloyd is—

Rusty: O-oh, isn't that the city? I think we're getting close. So. We should focus lest we get off course.

Kai: Ah. Right. I'm sure I can multitask. Lloyd is the green—
